This move was not because we have something lined up: This is the 100% truth.
Rensselaer Demographics and MORE SO playing EVERYTHING on Eastern Time Zone is just getting too much. We have lost around 100 kids in a decade.
Right now we have 435 students, we have around 40 or so non English speakers in our hallways then around 25 or 30 SPED/IEP/Austic student populations so now our available athletic pool has shrunk to around 350 or so, for instance our incoming freshman class was like 84 total, which only 39 boys and I think we have 7 Freshman of those 39 who decided to play, that is pretty decent if you look at it from percentage wise.
Hoosier Conference just brought in Logansport: 1200 students. Other bigger schools are wanting in: With Delphi, Lewis Cass and Northwestern all leaving within the last few years its just not the right fit for our student athletes in 2024 and beyond like it once was in 2001 when we joined.
Being Indy is going to be hard to get a schedule figured out?
Seeing RF and Renns on the schedule warmed my heart thinking back to the old days of them being in the same conference. I remember several trips down I-65.

I am curious if the GSSC is a good fit, or a new conference with some of the teams there. Lots of shakeups across the state in general. I know Boone would welcome RC to the schedule.

Yes sir, I also played in the Old NW Hoosier conference: Glorious times, until Lowell came in for my SR year and pasted us and Coach Hudak was kicking FGs in the 4th on non 4th down plays........just to keep it under 60 !!!!
Independent is going to be easy right away, we know that for Football, but we will be doing what is best for our kids and we will figure it out one way or another.
